CFB Main Slate

The roster won through a narrow game cluster rather than broad coverage. Three Tulane pieces anchored the slate, with Michael Pratt, Tyjae Spears, and Shae Wyatt turning the UCF-Tulane game into the lineup's main scoring engine. That game supplied both ceiling and salary efficiency, while Pratt's passing touchdowns and rushing production gave the build a quarterback score strong enough to survive without an expensive secondary stack. The lineup then added a second tight game node with Max Duggan and Taye Barber from KSU-TCU. Duggan's dual-threat output at S-FLEX supplied a second quarterback-grade score, while Barber added enough receiver volume and touchdown equity to keep the TCU side active. That choice matters because the roster spent one of its most flexible spots on a quarterback, which is often the cleanest way to buy a second 30-point outcome in CFB Classic. Donovan Edwards and Kenny McIntosh supplied the running back floor that large-field CFB lineups need when the quarterback scores are already carrying so much of the total. Edwards worked as a Michigan runback against Purdue, while McIntosh filled the FLEX slot with touchdown-driven utility from Georgia. RaJae Johnson from Troy supplied the final separator, because his 134 yards and two scores gave the build a non-quarterback ceiling outcome from a low-cost receiver. The lineup did not need perfect balance. It needed concentrated spikes from the right games, and it got them.

This roster was not built around a single team stack in the NFL sense. It used game concentration, with the Tulane game as the primary spine and the KSU-TCU game as the secondary engine. That structure is powerful in CFB Classic because the player pool can reward multiple high-volume producers from the same game without forcing a full-team stack. The Max Duggan S-FLEX decision is the sharpest construction choice in the lineup. A quarterback in S-FLEX gives access to elite raw scoring while keeping the roster flexible enough to fit additional ceiling at receiver and running back. That is a strong route when the slate offers a clear second quarterback who can run and pass for tournament-winning totals. The lower-owned wide receiver, RaJae Johnson, is the salary and roster-construction release valve. He turned the lineup from a good correlated build into a winning one because his output was not dependent on quarterback stacking logic. It was independent ceiling attached to a different game environment.
